This week we are focusing on The 'i' letter sounds in our word work. There is the short and long sound when using silent 'e'. The letter 'y' also makes an 'i' sound and so do the following graphemes: 'igh' and 'uy'.
- since
- which
- string
- title
- mind
- decide
- why
- buy
- right
- write
- cypress
- bicycle
We are learning about complex sentences and the conjunctions: because, while, before and after. We are using these words to join to simple sentences.
Our comprehension strategy is "Close Reading". We are learning to read, reread and annotate text to gain a deeper understanding. Another comprehension strategy we have learned about is making inferences.
This month the rotating Pillar of Care is mindfulness. Every afternoon after lunch the entire school will take 10 minutes to be mindful, deep breath and centre ourselves to prepare for the afternoon's learning.
In Math we are reviewing patterning and patterns in charts before we move into Number Operations: adding, and subtracting decimals, multiplication and division.
Have a wonderful night!
Best Regards,
Mrs. A Diduch
